Onondaga Nation Wants Better Cleanup of Onondaga Lake

WAER: The Onondaga Nation is calling for a change in strategy on cleaning up Onondaga Lake. Nation leaders were at the lakeside today, criticizing one part of the remediation that failed. Nation attorney Alma Lowry says the public hears about progress, but not problems.

“The public is repeatedly told that the lake is being restored, that we’re almost done, that we’ve come to the end of the remediation, almost. We’re really just beginning; this is phase one of the remediation, the capping and dredging.”
